Beef patty covered with sauteed onions and melted American cheese on grilled rye bread.

The Patty Melt is diner royalty, and ours respects the crown. A juicy beef patty gets smothered in sweet sauteed onions and melted American cheese, then grilled between slices of rye until the bread crisps and everything fuses together the way a patty melt should.

It is the sandwich-burger hybrid that has anchored American lunch counters for generations, and it has been satisfying Whittier appetites at our counter since the 90s. Pair it with fries and a chocolate milkshake for the full retro experience. Served daily at California Grill & Bar for dine in, pickup, and delivery.

Our burgers and sandwiches come with your choice of French fries, sweet potato fries or fruit, and you can upgrade to onion rings or fried zucchini for $2.50. Burgers start with a premium beef patty, with turkey and plant-based options too, and many sandwiches are built on our toasted garlic cheese sourdough. Want it your way? Add bacon, avocado or cheese, or ask for a lettuce wrap.
